women, up in all the mysteries of bookkeep- ing, and they themselves keep all the ac- counts in connection with the everyday ad- ministration of their fortunes.
 Their recreations are chiefly outdoor pleas ures. They are skillful horsewomen, trained from childhood to ride. They have stable of fine horses. and one meets them riding miles round their country place. A ride of ten miles is an ordinary indulgence, and run of twenty miles has not worn them alto, gether out. They are fond of dogs too, and they have at least fifty of the faithful erea' lures running ill and about their home.
 Their personal expenditures do not equal tenth of the sum they give away yearly in charity. They have long list of pensioners who depend largely upon them for support; many old friends and pensioners also of their late father and mother. They are also regu- lar subscribers to great many charitable in- stitutions. Begging letters pour in upon them by the hundred. But though they are not deaf to any worthy appeal, most of these epistles they promptly and prudently con- sign to the flames. There is a chapel near to their house. Of course they pay most of the current expenses of that too. Still there they probably get their moneys worth, for they attend early service there every day. They teach Sunday school in their own house, having a class of sixty or seventy boys and girls gathered from the country side. While abroad all their various char ities are kept up by people whom they specially designate for that purpose. Thus the good work goes on ceaselessly. Alto gether they are an excellent trio, far the three richest unmarried sisters in the Uni ted States.

Enc National Marine Band.

Washington Letter to the Saginaw Courlsr-I
 By s o'clock the Marine Band, resplendent
 in red flannel and brass buttons, marches in.
 These brilliantly uniformed fellows are all
 enlisted men, who get $21 a month. The
 leader, Sousa also an enlisted man, gets S90
 8 raonth. The famous band first performed
 at the White House on New Years day, 1922, and has made music at every great
 entertainment, leyee: reception, funeral or
 parade held at the capital since it was or ganized. Its origin was funny one. Some
 of our ships, cruising in the Mediterranean
 in the early years of this century, picked up a lot of Italians who were playing in the streets of little seacoast town. They were kept on shipboard for their music, and on reaching this country were sent to the capi tai to play at parties and balls. This little handful of Italians was the nucleus of the Marine Band. Some of the de-
 scendents of these musicians are now among the wealthiest professional and business men at the capital. The members of the band live in the Marine Barracks, are allowed to marry, keep shops and stores and play at the theatres and at private parties, when not required for official occasions. The band always playe at Presidential reception the original state tune of ''Hail Columbia" the music of which was written in Washington s first term by Pfyles, the leader of the only orchestra at the time.

The defeat of the woman suffrage amend ment in Rhode Island was very decided. The Providence Journal has this to say of it: The people of Rhode Island, always conservative in the matter of suffrage privileges, were not ready to venture on 50 large an experiment, involving, as it would, an addition to the present electorate of body of voters larger than itself. The amendment has been re-
 jected, therefore, mainly because of it's mex pediency and the immense sweep of it's de mands. With regard to the theory involved or the justice of the suffragists' claim, it may simply be said that Rhode Island thought is fully as far advanced as that of any State. But consider ations of common sense and practical government have rightly outweighed any mere theorizing or sentiment. The results will be acceptable to the majority of the women of the State, who can but feel re- lieyed st not being forced to assume weighty duties and responsibilities which they did not ask for or desire. Nor will the results in any way retard the true progress of Rhode Is- land women or deprive them of just con- ,sideration in the legislation of the State.

THE VOTING KANSAS W9MEN. Many accounts of the progress made by | the noble cause of woman suffrage in Kansas on the day of the recent elections there have been published, but it is difficult to tell from 1 them just what progress was made. Some | of the incidents of the canvass and of elec- l tion day are, however, interesting and sig nifcant.
 Mrs. Helen N. Gongar. a temperance worker" succeeded in making quite stir in
 Leavenworth. She took hold vigorously in
 behalf of the Republican candidate for
 mayor but she defeated him and herself be- 1 cause she consented to talk to an interview I CT. He reported her as saying that, in con- | sequence of the proximity of military gar
 rison, the fashionable society of the town
 was ''frightfuliy icentious." The society
 women resented this scandalous imputation. ! In vain Mrs. Gongar protested that she had | never uttered the words put in her mouth by
 the reporter, but had said merely that 'Ethe
 upper stratum of society was somewhat licsn- tious." In vain she had the reporter arrested | for criminal libel. The society women reg
 istered; then they fell to work for the Demo-
 cratic candidate, MT. Nicely, and elected him l by 21 majority.
 At Topeka the mayor, who was a candi-
 date for reelection, was ordered to appear be- fore the Kansas Equal Suffrage association
 and explain why he had not suppressed the l houses of ill-repute in the town. A corre-
 spondent says: ''The man stood in the mid
 dle of the room blushing. The picture was | that of squaws about stake" On election | 5ox tC fha hair hr1o- bands, mothers with their sons, and in many
 instances young men were accompanied by 1 their swsethearts. Frequently 8 silver haired mother wended her way alone up to 1 the polls and cast her ballot" One woman,
 a Democrat, presented herself bsre-headed, | with baby in her arms; another, Repub- lican. was bent on voting for her pastor for I mayor and only the earnest efforts of friends l induced her to vote the regular ticket instead | At Wichita I'll women had described them
 selves at the registration office as "sports;"
 they voted solidly for the anti-prohibition
 candidates. A mob of 5000 gathered around
 the polls, and greeted their appearance with
 cheers, cat-calls, etc. Here the Wonen's Christian Temperance union issued the fol- lowing appeal:
 l Whereas, The daughters of Judah have l gone about the streets these many years
 mourning because thoughtless men have
 caused small and designing rulers to direct,
 because they have seen the fair youth of the l land destroyed by sword and mortal pesti-
 fence and the young maidens to become a prey to the fowler,
 Therefore, Arise yel Choose ye from 1 among the people able men such as fear God,
 men of truth, hating coyetousness, and place
 such over the people, to be rulers of thou
 sands and rulers of hundreds, rulers of ffties 1 and rulers of tens!
 And so forth and so on. Those who
 are looking for reasons for woman suffrage
 will have difficulty in finding them, and
 those who are looking for reasons against it
 will also easily find them.

In the last number of the Marine Journal there is an elaborate description of the new steamship Olivette, built by the Cramps of Philadelphia for the Plant Investment com- pany Ca Connecticut corporation), to run be- tween Tampa, Key West and Havana in con nection with the steamship Mascette and the Plant system of railways in the South, thus making tri-weekly line between the above points. She is an iron vessel, built in con- formity to all the rules governing the con- struction of the best American vessels, and with three special objects in view to adapt her to the Gulf trade, namely speed, ventila- l tion and perfect sanitary conditions. Her dimensions are: Length over all, three hun dred feet; breadth of beam, thirty-fve feet: depth of hold, twenty-one feet; gross ton mage, twenty five hundred. The engines of this ship constitute it's principal feature; they possess all the most advanced improve ments of the triple expansion type, which in the hands of the builders have been marked with unusual success.
 The walls of the dining room are finished in different varieties of hard wood panelling l with sofas extending nearly two-thirds of the way round, while at it's after end is built @ mahogany sideboard twelve feet long and four feet wide, backed by bevelled French plate mirrors, all of unusual elegance. En- closed in this sideboard is an orchestrion | which plays many of the popular airs of the
 | day. This dining room will seat ninety peo-
 pie comfortably; it is lighted from above by 1 an immense skylight with stained glass panes, giving the saloon below a lovely sub dued light of rainbow hues.
 This apartment Is also closely studded with windows that unimpaired view can be had nearly all around the horizon, thus making it a most delightful resort for obser- vation or lounging when bad weather pre- vents occupying the promenade deck. Up- holstered leather sofas, light bent wood cane seat chairs and extension tables that close up to drawing room size finish this saloon. Just aft of the dining room comes the pantry, which is situated exactly over the kitchen, communicating with the latter by means of both elevator and stairway. These two i'm portant auxiliaries to the dining room are fitted with the finest wares and necessary ! utensils that could be found in the city of New York.
 The Edison incandescent light has been | furnished this ship throughout; both mast head and side signal lights have extra burn CTS in case any one gives out. There is also four thousand candle power electric search 1 light placed on the bow which enables the officers to see any object long distance ahead of the ship. Electric bells in the staterooms communicate with the stew ards department and others with the prop

COMMUNICATIONS.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 When streets are paved the property own CTS bear part of the expense; when they are top dressed or hardened with stone the city bears all the expense; then in order to preserve them our board of public works say they must be watered at the city's expense. This may be lovely for the people who live on such streets, but is it quite fair for those who live on Belgian or unpaved and unhardened streets? It looks to me like robbing the many for the benefit of the few.

The Buffalo board of fire underwriters has issued decree that there shall be no more smoking in newspaper and printing estab- 1ishments in that city under present rules, the alternative being @ re-classifcation of policies under the head of extra hazardous risks. This is a reform which is needed in other places than Buffalo.
 The Wine and Spirit Reporter is naturally opposed to high license, but it makes strong argument in it's favor when it says: In thirteen leading cities where the license fees run from $50 to $1 1000, the ratio of saloons to population diminishes in proportion to the increase of the fee. Where the fees are low est, there is one saloon to 115 people, and where the fees are highest the proportion is one saloon to 426 people.

 An ingenious improvement in the manu- | facture of tin cans for preserving food is be- l ing introduced, the plan consisting simply in so forming the lid that it is merely pressed on | and the can is dramatically sealed, so that nc | internal pressure can remove the lid. Wa ter boiled in tin thus closed has failed te force it off. although the steam pressure has burst the can itself. A penny piece, howev
 CT, used as a lever by being placed under a rim formed around the top of the cover, with l the shoulder of the can as a fulcrum, raises
 the lid with remarkably small expenditure
 of power. The principle involved in the de | vice is that of the wedge and lever. The neck of the tin on which the lid fits is form
 ed at very slight angle from the vertical
 and the rim of the lid is made at core
 spending angle, no solder being used to form
 the joint. By means of this arrangement
 therefore, the opening of cans is rendered { ] remarkably clean, quick and simple opera
